Transforming into a stunningly beautiful fox spirit, leaving a scar on the heart of a prodigy.

Before the golden light dissipated, fragments of the Great Emperor's Laws fell one after another, illuminating the dark brown rocks of the Fallen God Ruins with flickering light.

The spiritual energy of heaven and earth in Zhongzhou was in violent chaos.

The bronze cauldron, having lost its master, let out a mournful cry, transformed into a stream of light, tore through the void, and fled towards the Chen family's ancestral land.

The scouts outside the ruins were sweating profusely, their hands trembling as they crushed the communication jade slips hidden in their sleeves.

The ripples of spatial fluctuation spread rapidly.

The Central Plains trembled.

Deep within the forbidden areas of various top powers, several ancient divine senses ascended into the heavens.

"Chen Boyong's divine soul projection has shattered."

"The essence of the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox, the combat power of a Quasi-Emperor."

"The Central Continent is about to change."

The old monsters exchanged very little, quickly withdrew their divine senses, and chose to remain inside their doors.

Amidst the ruins, Gu Xiang withdrew her fingers, looked down at the blood-stained blue robe, ran her fingers through the folds, tightened the Taiyin cloak given to her by Su Chang'an, and wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth.

Ten steps away, Bai Yin swung his wrist, making a cracking sound as the bloodstains on his upper body began to heal.

Their eyes met.

Gu Xiang's eyes twitched slightly, his eyes full of disdain: "If it weren't for your paw blocking it, that stroke would have already pierced through the core array pattern of the cauldron."

Bai Yin spat out blood and sneered, "You pedantic scholar, if I hadn't torn off that arm, your lousy handwriting wouldn't have even scratched the skin of an emperor."

Gu Xiang raised his chin: "Vulgar."

Bai Yin flashed his white teeth: "Useless."

The two men's auras surged, and their righteous energy clashed with the malevolent energy of Geng metal, causing sparks to fly and the temperature to plummet.

Su Chang'an turned around.

Her white robe remained still, her face was serene and expressionless.

"If you have the energy to argue, you should save it to kill people in the Chen family." The voice was cold and imposing.

Gu Xiang dispelled his righteous indignation, tucked his hands into his sleeves, and said gently, "I'll listen to Qing'er."

Bai Yin suppressed his murderous aura, glared at his opponent, and shouted, "It's Xiao Jiu!"

Su Chang'an gave them a cold glance, and the two immediately shut up.

The goddess of the Wang family lay paralyzed on the rock, fluid flowing beneath her, emitting a pungent odor. The nine phoenix pearls and jade ornaments were shattered into pieces, mixed with dirt.

Su Chang'an walked over carrying the Taiyin Sword, the hem of his white robe sweeping across the ground with a rustling sound.

The goddess of the Wang family had unfocused pupils. Looking into those cold eyes, her lips trembled violently, and she made strange noises in her throat. Her fingers dug bloody marks into the rock.

No nonsense.

Su Chang'an stretched out his left hand and directly grasped the crown of the Wang family goddess's head.

The icy, bone-chilling power of Taiyin, carrying the essence of the Heavenly Fox, brutally tore through the defenses of the Wang family goddess's sea of ​​consciousness.

The goddess of the Wang family rebounded violently, her limbs digging bloody gashes into the rocks, her eyes bulging outwards in extreme pain, and black blood flowing from her seven orifices. She wanted to scream, but the extreme cold froze her vocal cords, leaving only the hissing sound of a broken bellows. Su Chang'an didn't even glance at her, coldly flipping through the secrets in her mind.

Memories flashed rapidly through Su Chang'an's mind.

The towering city walls of the Chen family ancestral home.

The chains of the Nine Nether Valley underground.

The coordinates of the Nine Netherworld Refining God Array.

Li Changgeng sat in the center of the formation with a cold expression.

Once the information was extracted, Su Chang'an released his grip.

The goddess of the Wang family crashed heavily to the ground, her sea of ​​consciousness shattered, leaving only an empty shell.

Su Chang'an took out a jade slip and inscribed the array diagram and coordinates into it.

Not far away, Tianpeng slowly stood up, leaning on his nine-toothed rake. The vitality of the Taiyin had stabilized his nearly shattered meridians, and the tips of the rake's teeth once again shone with a faint starlight. He wiped the blood from his face, strode to Su Chang'an's side, his eyes revealing a ruthless fierceness born of near-death experience.

Su Chang'an tossed the jade slip over.

Tianpeng raised his hand to catch it.

"The Chen family ancestral land contains the Ninefold Returning Origin Formation." Su Chang'an spoke rapidly. "There are three main spiritual veins and four backup spiritual veins underground. Go and sever those four backup spiritual veins; don't try to fight them head-on."

Tianpeng scanned the jade slip with his divine sense, saw the direction of the array veins, and nodded.

"Half an hour." Tianpeng gripped his rake tightly. "After severing the spiritual veins, I'll go to the Nine Nether Refining God Array to find Chen Xuan."

Su Chang'an tightened his grip on the sword hilt: "Alright, give me the front."

Tianpeng retreated and disappeared into the void.

Su Chang'an looked at Gu Xiang and Bai Yin.

"Go to the Chen family."

She touched the rock with her toes, and the clear light of the moon rose into the sky.

A hundred-foot-tall nine-tailed ice fox dharma form condensed above the ruins, its nine ice-blue fox tails unfurling, the enormous dharma form blocking out the sunlight.

Su Chang'an stood between the eyebrows of the Buddha image.

Gu Xiang and Bai Yin leaped up simultaneously, standing on Fa Xiang's shoulders.

The Dharma Image exerts its power from its four legs, shattering the void.

A dark blue light tore through the clouds, heading straight for the Chen family's ancestral home in the heart of the Central Continent, carrying a murderous intent.

The space roared along the way, leaving an icy blue trail in the sky.

The ancestral home of the Chen family.

The palace complex was built against the mountain.

The entire city of Chen was shrouded in nine layers of golden light, with intricate array patterns.

The Ninefold Returning Origin Formation is the foundation upon which the Chen family stands in the Central Continent; it will never be activated unless there is a crisis that threatens the extinction of the entire clan.

The city walls were filled with elite soldiers clad in heavy armor, the clatter of their armor echoing through the air, and the cultivators' palms were covered in cold sweat.

The psionic ballista was pushed onto the arrow path, the winch creaking, and the black bolts, flashing with runes, pointed straight at the sky.

Chen Boyong stood at the highest point of the city wall, wearing a long robe, with his hands behind his back.

The backlash from the shattered divine soul projection caused his aura to fluctuate, but with his feet planted on the main spiritual vein and his back against the Ninefold Returning Origin Array, he believed he was strong enough to withstand attacks from those below the Quasi-Emperor level.

Li Changgeng was presiding over the Nine Netherworld Refining God Array deep underground, extracting Chen Xuan's sword bone.

Chen Boyong stared intently at the approaching streak of light on the horizon.

"The entire tribe is on alert." His voice was deep and resonant, echoing throughout the city walls.

The light flashed by in an instant.

The hundred-foot-tall Nine-Tailed Ice Fox Dharma Image hovered in mid-air ten miles outside the Chen Family City Gate, its enormous shadow covering half the city, and the wind pressure fluttering the battle flags on the city walls.

Su Chang'an, dressed in a white robe, stood high in the sky.

She made a grasping motion with her right hand, and the Taiyin Giant Sword materialized, its blade covered in frost.

The sword's edge pointed forward, locking onto the Chen Mansion plaque above the city gate.

Extreme cold energy pierced through the void and landed on the city wall. The eyelashes of cultivators with low cultivation levels frosted over, and they shivered.

Chen Boyong stared intently at the nine-tailed dharma image, uttering no unnecessary words. The humiliation of having his divine soul projection shattered and the quasi-emperor level combat power displayed by the opponent made it clear to him that there was absolutely no possibility of an amicable outcome today.

He raised his right hand and slammed it heavily onto the array's core on the city wall. His voice, amplified by spiritual energy, resounded throughout the heavens and earth: "Ninefold Return to Origin, the entire array activated! Today, the Chen family and this demonic soul will fight to the death!"

Su Chang'an completely ignored his clamor.

She raised the Taiyin Greatsword, and the essence of the Heavenly Fox and the power of Taiyin poured wildly into the sword, its eerie blue light illuminating the sky.

The arm swung down.

A thousand-foot-long, dark blue sword beam shot out, slicing through the air with a sharp whistle, and slammed into the first layer of golden light shield.

boom!

The crashing sound caused the Chen family's city to shake violently, bricks and stones from the city walls fell, and the bright light was blinding.

The array patterns on the first layer of the golden light shield flickered wildly, concave inwards with an astonishing arc. The Emperor's array formation was incredibly powerful; the sword beam was stopped by the array patterns after cutting three feet into the light shield.

A strong recoil force was transmitted back.

Su Chang'an's right hand, which was gripping the sword, felt slightly numb.

Her eyes grew colder, and just as she was about to exert her strength, two figures burst out from the shoulders of the Dharma Image.

Gu Xiang bit the tip of his right finger, using his blood as ink to instantly write a huge character for "break" in the void. Dark gold righteous energy enveloped the crimson phoenix true fire, crashing into the point where the sword light was stuck.

Bai Yin shattered the air, transforming into a dark red Asura White Tiger, which crashed heavily into the light barrier with intense Geng metal evil energy.

The power of Taiyin, the righteous spirit, and the killing energy of Geng metal.

Three supreme forces erupted at the same point.

A crisp cracking sound rang out above the city wall, and cracks spread outwards.

The first layer of golden light shield shattered with a deafening roar.

The golden fragments transformed into a rain of light, falling into the Chen family's city and striking the glazed tiles with a crackling sound.

Chen Boyong's face turned ashen, and he clenched his fists.

Su Chang'an gripped the greatsword tightly, his eyes cold, the blade pointing directly at the second layer of light shield.
